Subject: [patch 1/2 -next] cxgb4: clean up a type issue

The tx_desc struct hold 8 __be64 values.  The original code took a
tx_desc pointer then casted it to an int pointer and then casted it to a
u64 pointer.  It was confusing and triggered some static checker
warnings.

I have changed the cxgb_pio_copy() to only take tx_desc pointers.  This
isn't really a loss of flexibility because anything else was buggy to
begin with.
